Everything alive has a microbiota.
From the human body to animals, plants and soil, the microbiota governs the health of all life. Microbiota.org is the institute that organizes, certifies and brings this science to the world.

The planet’s largest organ is invisible.
Trillions of microorganisms decide digestion, immunity, mood and metabolism, in humans, animals, plants and whole ecosystems. To understand the microbiota is to understand life. No one had organized it as a global reference. We did.
Why this is the largest category in life science
The invisible intelligence that sustains life
An organ in its own right
The gut microbiota acts as a metabolic organ: it produces vitamins, trains the immune system and regulates hormones and neurotransmitters.
A network of axes
It connects to brain, liver, skin, lung, kidney, heart and reproductive system. Medicine moved from the isolated organ to the network.
In every form of life
Animals, plants and soil have their own microbiomes, and the health of each depends on them. The microbiota is universal.
Specific and measurable
Effects are entity-specific, a strain, a metabolite, a fiber each has its own evidence, dose and indication.
